No, nothing to do with duellists, nor an assassination attempt on Dawn, but an interesting article on hygiene in the great outdoors by Eddie Meecham in the latest TGO magazine. Well worth a read before you rush off to buy the latest water filter. There is no doubt that most of the ailments blamed on ‘the water’ are more to do a with lack of basic hygiene. Eddie examines the science behind the different cleansing agents available, and their effectiveness.

As usual, Eddie’s piece veers delightfully toward the surreal when he advocates a water pistol douche to complete one’s ablutions - mind you, this could be the source of endless fun between close friends interested in a little light target practice of a morning.

For the most part, though, this is a good article, with good information and a dash of common sense. Nice one, TGO.
